[LTER-All-lter] Reminder: Synchrony Synthesis Webinar TODAY at 11 am PDT/12 MDT/1pm CDT/2 pm EDT and Synthesis series extended.

[Marty Downs]

The LTER Network Communications Office developed this monthly webinar
series to keep investigators across the community apprised of new
developments from the LTER synthesis groups
<https://lternet.edu/current-working-groups/>.

*June 7*

*Integrating population and community synchrony across LTER sites*
Lauren Hallett, Lawrence Sheppard, Jonathan Walter
*REGISTER: **https://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ouhbrC5LQwKFCOXukI8JCA
<https://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ouhbrC5LQwKFCOXukI8JCA>*

All past webinars  in the 2018 series are available online on the LTER
Network website: https://lternet.edu/stories/2018-synthesis-webinars/

We have also added a July 12 webinar to the series. It offers an
opportunity for all sites to become involved in a synthesis project
emerging from the 2017 Science Council Meeting and lays the groundwork for
related activities at the All Scientists' Meeting.



*July 12, 11 am PDT*




*Contributions of long-term ecological research to changing theoretical
paradigms of disturbance ecologyEvelyn Gaiser, Dan Childers, Peter
Groffman, John Kominoski, Steward Pickett, Julie Ripplinger, and others*

Over the last several decades, disturbance has become a commonly recognized
driver of the dynamics of ecological systems. Long-term ecological research
is uniquely positioned to address the three challenges of disturbance:

1) that events can be both positive and negative,

2) that theoretically frameworks are comprehensive enough for driving
empirical generality, and

3) that disturbance can alter systems differently as environments change.

This interactive webinar will present a refined conceptual model for
synthesizing disturbance across systems with long-term social-ecological
research. We will complete the conceptual diagram for a few illustrative
systems, laying the groundwork for a broader workshop at the LTER All
Scientists’ Meeting. In the process, presenters will illustrate the utility
of the conceptual model for building site- level understanding of
disturbance outcomes, and its potential for driving insights across
different types of ecosystems.
